Form & Verdict
Juvenile promise and steadily getting her act together this season, winning Ballinrobe maiden and got the better of a three-way photo on latest under top-weight in 1m4f Killarney fillies' handicap last month in a first-time tongue-tie, finding plenty for pressure; needs to step up a fair bit on that form to play a major role here.

Tremendously progressive last year when her three wins included the Group 3 Give Thanks Stakes over C&D last August; raced keenly when not at her best over 1m6f next time; should be a big player on seasonal debut despite carrying a 5lb penalty.

Won a 9.6f maiden at Ballinrobe, 11.4f handicap at Killarney (yielding to soft) and 1m4f Group 3 at Cork on three of her last four outings; tongue tied for last two, when battling her way to the front late on and that looks encouraging for this longer trip, as did her close, running-on second in a 1m5f handicap; needs further improvement but it may be possible.

Hasn't added to her maiden win but front-running Irish Oaks third last time marked a big step up in form; possibly flattered by that but nonetheless has to be given major respect.

Unraced on worse than good to soft; always up with pace when close third in Chantilly Listed race (1m4f) in June, looking well worth a crack at this longer trip and two smart half-brothers tasted notable success at 1m6f; needs overall improvement, though, and to put the lesser efforts on her last two starts well behind her.
